The plot touched a new level of interracial dating for that time. The early nineties opened up a door of acceptance. Yet, it was slowly closing a door of hate towards interracial friendships and relationships. The plot has a seasoned flavor. You wanted to catch every detail of the movie. You admired the friendship between Zack and Dee. Dee loved Zack like a brother. However, Zack battled between friendships. Although he acted so-called black around Dee, he still remained to be in tune with his white friends. Zack was more confused than anything. The thought of dating a black girl was exciting. Yet, he was interested in her beauty, her style, and mind. The two played it safe for a while but no one really approved except for Dee. Trouble is always around. Yet, it's sad when it lives across the street. The infamous "Nut" had a crush on Nikki. He did not like Zack at all. He was an abandoned child that was clearly uneducated. He was not a gang member but he was full of hate due to his surroundings. What led to the tragic scene of Dee's killing was a stupid act of passion. Nikki was vulnerable during her break-up with Zack. Nut was caring for the moment and the two kissed. She regretted the mistake, yet she left Nut confused. So...to see Nikki and Zack rekindling there relationship made him mad. A huge confrontation between Nut and Zack was interrupted by Dee. Dee always came to Zack's rescue. He pushed Nut on the floor and Nut acted out. He shot and killed Dee. Nut had intentions of shooting Zack but Dee became the target. What a plot!!! Zack is hated because their friendship got Dee killed. Nikki is hated because she crossed the racial barriers. Everybody is blaming the two. Overall, this movie remains to be the best interracial love story. It teaches about racism, love, young adults, violence, hate, friendship, and family.
